The ScanGauge is not fully compatible with some of the ear...
smart 2001.... a 450 with 698cc turbo engine?
Not sure what the ScanGauge may show or even plug into the OBD port of that vintage.

O compre a un lector de código. Son más baratos que a "scan guage". Creo yo vie uno para $89 en Advanced Auto Parts. Y como dijeron, toma su Smart a un mecánico, ellos lo tienen el equipo para leer los códigos.
